Kensington Homes For Sale

Kensington, CAis an unincorporated community in Contra Costa County. Its population is just over 5,000 people. It is one square mile, and borders Berkeley and Albany to the south, and El Cerrito to the north. The amazing views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco, plus its tree lined streets and quiet back yards, are just a few of the things that make Kensington appealing to its residents, as does its proximity to the University of California in Berkeley.

Homes here reflect many architectural styles depending on the era built, but all have the same basic desire to mix living with nature, whether it be plentiful gardens and patios, or open, multi-level designs with large windows and porches designed to capture the flavor of the many nearby hill trees, or the San Francisco Bay views. Kensington is also located close to the Wildcat Regional Park as well as Tilden Park for those interested in hiking, biking and picnicking.
